Welcome back, the retail voice you're hearing right now is Will to freeze with me in the studio today, as always, Barrett Dudley. Barrett, how's it going? It's going all right. For our YouTube, for our YouTube watchers, you've heard Will's voice already and now you might notice that the seating arrangement is slightly different. That's because I'm sitting as far away from Will as I can't. We're social distancing. We're bringing that back. Yeah. There's not enough ventilation in here. Probably not, but, you know. I've called like three people on the phone in the last couple days thinking like, I'm just going to call them and like hit them up about some work stuff or like whatever. And every person is just going, oh, like, yeah. I mean, cool. I knew you were, like you need a good cough. Yeah. I, I, I, that's all I've been doing for about three days. It's tough. It's all right. Well, none of those in here. Thanks. I'll do my best. But, uh, but yeah, yeah, good to be here. We're, we are recording retail therapy by Sunday. Scary is on a Sunday. And to be honest, it kind of hits different. I know. I almost, Sally and I were both wearing pajamas about five minutes before I left the house. And I thought about texting you and just being like, dude, where are your companies today? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, then I would have recorded OCC in my companies, too, because I'm actually, I'm going two for two.

1:29.8

Oh, wow.

1:30.1

I'm doing, I'm just a Sunday podcaster today. Dude, most people are going after this or before? No, I already did it. I already did it. We covered Pluribus episode four just, just not an hour ago. Can you convince my wife to keep watching Clerebis? I don't want to watch it. He's one and a half episodes in.

1:42.5

I don't like the premise.

1:43.4

I am, the show is good.

1:47.7

I, Claribus? I don't want to watch it. She's one and a half episodes in. I don't like the premise. I am, the show is good. I get real bad anxiety. It's like post-apocalyptic. Yeah, sure, sure. That's why I could never watch any of the zombie shows. Yeah, last of us or any of that type of stuff. No, can't do that. And that's how the first episode was, you know what I'm saying? No,

2:01.3

spoilers. We don't have to talk about this is a different podcast. But I, the first episode, I was like, oh, shit, no. Yeah. I think I can do this. Yeah, it's, I like the more cerebral heady type stuff like that. But I get it. I get it. It's, you know. I'm amazed by the production value alone. It's not the best spots.

2:15.8

And I want to keep watching to see how high the production value can get.

2:18.6

My mom was in town this weekend.

2:20.5

You know, we went to the production value alone. It's not the best spots. And I want to keep watching to see how high the production value can get. My mom was in town this weekend. We went to the Arkansas, Texas game yesterday. And I was talking, telling her about Plyubist and she just goes, oh, I don't like sci-fi shows. I won't. I won't. That's the most mom response. Somebody will be like, should we get a Hawaiian pizza?

2:34.6

And my mom goes, no, when it comes to pizza, pizza's pizza. And I'm like, mom, then she'll have a slice and be like, oh, that's really good. I might start getting that later. And it's just like, that's how she operates with everything. It's traditional until she doesn't, until she tries it. And then it's like, oh, kind of like this.

2:50.8

Well, I don't think we've introduced your voice that you just heard.

2:54.6

So. until she tries it and then it's like, oh, kind of like this.

2:52.5

Well, I don't think we've introduced you. I was going to say, do you want an intro, Sally DeFries, ladies and gentlemen.

2:56.3

Hello.

2:57.5
